South Rail Showcase

The Chattanooga-based music blog The South Rail has partnered with Track 29 for a series of shows that brings together a variety of sounds that have been curated by The South Rail’s intelligent and thorough knowledge the current live-music landscape.

From locals Eight Knives to the collaborative group Fly Golden Eagle (pictured), who will take the stage with new material from their latest release Swagger, this showcase has the diversity and promise of exposing its audience to something new. Each of the bands have interesting pedigree, with members producing equally interesting material from psych-rock to roots-rock. This showcase is a promising start to the collaborative series.
